That certainly would be nice. However..... this thing would suck fuel faster than a F-4 J79 engine....who would drive the fuel truck following this beast? If it was mine I'd also have to have a semi full of tires real close cause there is no way I could keep my foot off the pedal. It would be just to much fun. ;D

You wont do 200 in an LX without changing gears.

I think Jack may be right, probably need taller gears to achieve 200MPH, Of course I could be wrong, it wouldnt be the first time.
The trade off for higher speed is lower quarter mile time. As far as getting a camera person in car filming, I wouldnt want to wet your seats, so I would have to pass. Just call me scary cat, doing 190MPH in car would have me on edge. I cant imagine going 190.

ya chris it would if the programmers gov was not at 190 lol so just need to mod that then i can, beleive me they hit 172mph on the stock gov and that is only fourth gear, try it some time then you will know you have a 200 mph car beleive that, seen undergrond vids to with same mods i have but they had full sized headers and high flow cats was the only difference. i short shifted fourth and 175 came and i still had about almost 3000 rpm left in fifth........... Im a top speed freak i guess

I put a video on here of me doing 160mph when my car was stock. It's in Media under Random SLCLX Photos. Don't do it with one hand. Not a good idea. lol.
